More Pickaxes Thumbnail

This mod adds in new pickaxes. There will be a description of each pickaxe and their use. This mod is balanced to be what I believe is as best as I can get it and will attempt to maintain the balanced nature of the game by not adding in any really overpowered pickaxes without having them require appropriate

All pickaxes are crafted like normal pickaxes unless stated otherwise. The letter R before a pickaxe means reinforced, the letter H means hypertension.

The Glorious - Pickaxe Pickaxe

Pickaxe Notes: You think this pickaxe is forgiving. Hah. The Pickaxe Pickaxe fears no man. You should fear it. Good luck crafting it without NEI. This "pickaxe" is deserving of a much higher honor than what a standard pickaxe would have. The Pickaxe Pickaxe cannot be reinforced because if it was, even god wouldn't be able to stop its ultimate power.

Some crafting recipes for items have not yet been created. They will be added in the final major update.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or find a bug, then leave a comment. Thank you.

12/27/2018: I am working on adding new pickaxes right now, each major update of the mod will consist of at least 10 new pickaxes.

1/26/2019: It's been about a month, but I'm back with a pretty big update. Checkout the changelog if you wish to see everything that was added in this update. I didn't add 10 pickaxes like I promised, but I added plenty of other items that should (hopefully) compensate for only 6 new pickaxes. This update is very buggy for some pickaxes, but I'm working on it.

2/5/2019: The mod is almost complete with a few minor things to be added in a bug fix update. I don't plan on adding in too many more pickaxes, but we'll see. I plan on making a partner mod to go along with this one, but I want to make sure that this mod is finished and polished out first. All of the major bugs have been fixed so all that's left now is just the polishing (as well as possible new items). Version 1.2 is available now along with the change log, which I highly suggest that everyone sees.

One last major updated will be made. Anything after that will simply be for bug fixes.

Thank you. I try to give everything I make a purpose (aside from the obvious grass and dirt joke pickaxes). If you have suggestions for a new pickaxe and its uses, please let me know. Sorry for the late reply. Have a great day.

This looks cool, however I think that most people won't use most pickaxes (except the Flint Pickaxe, the Emerald Pickaxe and the Orestone Pickaxe).
I like that, unlike most mods that add tools, you put some thought into these pickaxes, rather than adding a hundred of useless/overpowered random tools. :)

Thank you. I try to give each pickaxe a purpose, with the exceptions of the dirt and grass ones as those are kind of there as a joke. I am open to any suggestions you have for pickaxes and their uses. All criticism is taken into consideration so if you think something should be adjusted let me know. Sorry for replying late. Have a great day. :)
